the water, and they have saved many
people from drowning"
"They are the best water dogs in
the world" agreed Frank Whitney,
a companion of Allie, "and the books
on natural history say that New
foundland dogs Of pure breed are
partially webfooted like ducks or
geese. Let US see if Jacks feet are
webbed."
Jack submitted patiently to their
investigations, and appeared to un-
derstand their object. The boys
were disappointed at the result, as
they could not find that the animals
feet were very mucn unlike those Of
other dogs. There appeared to be
membrane uniting the toes near their
base, but it was 50 slight that its
character could not be determined.
''Never mind" said Allie, as he
patted Jacks head, and continued the
praise that had been given to the
dogs exploit; che may not be a
genuine Newfoundlander, but he's
genuine enough for US. His ances.
tors were probably web-tooted. but he
dosen't have to make his living from
the water, and has dropped the old
fashion,
II know a capital story about
Newfoundland, said Allie. II read
it il book Of anecdotes about dogs"
Of course all wanted to hear it,
and 50 Allie told the story as we'll as
he could remember it.
1T happened in Scotland" said
Allie, Sat place where. there was a
pier running into the sea. There
we're two large dogs there, one New
foundland and the other a mastiff.
They were powerful dogs, and good
natured enough when alone, but
quarrelsome when together. One
day they met on the pier and had
quite battle there. The end Of the
fight was that they fell into the sea,
and as the pier was very long, and
its sides were steep, their only way Of
escape was to swim to the shore,
which was good way off.
"Of course they stopped fighting
as soon as they fell into the water,
and each struck out for land. The
Newfoundland being an excellent
swimmer, reached it in safety, and
after shaking the water from his coat
he turned to look at his late antogon-
ist. The mastiff was struggling ex-
hausted in the water, and was about
to sink. In dashed the Newfound
land, took the other gently by the
collar, kept his head above water
and brought him safely to shore
"From that time the dogs were
fast friends. They never fought
again, were always together, and
when the Newfoundland was acci
dentally killed by railway truck
the mastiff refused food for several
days, and evidently mourned his loss
for long cine.
''Now let me tell story illustra

Of the same kind" said Frank. y

The Minnesota State Prison invee-
tigation.

The ex-Warden Reed investigation COM
mittee continued their investigations at
Saltwater, and all tine evidence was heard.
At the conclusion OF taking testimony Chair
man Wells said the con mittec might an
nounce orally at their meeting at the
state house what their written report in
the matter would be. The first witness in
the morning was Emma Clinton, a life con.
yict. for the defense she said:
The letter before this committee which
wrote to Warden Reed, intimating that he
had secured the pardon OF women AS a rec
ompense for improper relations sith
them, was false in every particular. / did
not know anything wrote in that letter
to be true and had no reason to believe i.
to be true. wrote the letter because l
thought maybe could scare him into se-
curing pardon for me.
Azilda Beaudry was called for the state,
and said: All / have ever said against
Warden Reed is true, and was said OF my
own free will. Mr.. Reed WAS always gooe
to ME with that one exception.
Warden Stordock was on the stand f,r
some time. explaining how the charges
against Reed came to re made. At the
close OF the testimony Chairman Wells re-
viewed the charges preferred by Ma sh
had decided not to take jurisdiction of
them by entering into an investigation OF
them; but should einbody some
thing concerning some of the charg-
es made in their report; this they
would do by virtue of the au-
thority delegated to them by the gov
ernor to report generally OF the prison
management and affairs. In reference to
the publication in the Prison Mirror, and
the Prison Mirror itself, the chairman
said they should embody in their report
something OF a censure upon Stortiock.
The committee believed that the publica-
ii n OF such a paper in a prison was det.
rimental to prison discipline and the OBJ
ject OF q prison.

anC08.

Chicago special: Gov. Oglesby made an
address to the Locomotive Engineers con-

ty clearly his feeling towards the anarch-
lists. In trenchant words he denoun ced the
lawless methods Of the "Reds." vt here

''when hungry men with hungry wives and
children at home have listened to the
fashy sentences OF men who thought they
could interpose themselves between the
laboring people and the steady march OF
law and order and justice. Acts Of vio-
lence followed. and, all too late. they
found they were not potent enough to
change the tide OF affairs. Appeals to the
Justice OF the people will always result in
justice; but violence and the outrages OF
the laws and OF Justice will meet with in.
evitable punishment"
The Governor was often applauded, and
his remarks as to violence were understood
to be statement of his attitude in
the case of the condemned anarchis ts
Everybody inferred from the Governors a
speech that the anarchists stand a slim
chance OF pardon, or even q commutation
Of sentence.

agree WAS received with applause. The
section which had been the cause OF all the
debate on the previous day had been mod.
flied, and now stands as follows:
That we regard constitutional prohibit
tion as the greatest moral and political
question before tie American people; that
we in no meas sure accept the license sys-
tenn, either high or low, az a solution to
any extent Of this problem; that we
insist on the submission OF this question
to popular vote OF the people, iBdepend.
ent OF all partisan associations. and that
we will withhold our support from all par
ties that refuse to do this.
That the history OF high license in other
states shows that it fails TO accomplish
the end sought and has a tendency to dead
en- the public conscience and raise barrier
against prohibition. and thus instead
OF restriction as claimed becomes pro-
lection and dangerous alliance with the
liquor traffic for revenue purposes.
The report was adopted unanimously.
